Liesl Eichler Clark may run the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, but she has never forgotten where she came from, a small sheep farm about three miles south of Pigeon.
Eichler Clark would sheer the wool off sheep, show off sheep at the Huron Community Fair, and belonged to 4-H when she lived on the farm. Other work in taking care of these sheep involved carrying five-gallon buckets of fresh water and hay and cleaning the stalls and pens of the sheep. She remembers how every February, she and her brothers were excited if there were any babies.
